I didn't say that we shouldn't tell them when they're out. I fully agree that we should inform them when they are out of timeouts.

You still give the T even if you forgot to inform him that he is out of timeouts. You not informing him doesn't allow him to evade the penalty.

You talked to 10 coaches in that time frame?

That said, if that's what's expected....
See above. I am all for letting them know when they're out of timeouts. I never said otherwise.
